perf tools: Use readdir() instead of deprecated readdir_r()

2018-11-20T18:06:04Z

commit 7093b4c963cc4e344e490c774924a180602a7092 upstream. The readdir() function is thread safe as long as just one thread uses a DIR, which is the case when synthesizing events for pre-existing threads by traversing /proc, so, to avoid breaking the build with glibc-2.23.90 (upcoming 2.24), use it instead of readdir_r(). See: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/readdir.3.html "However, in modern implementations (including the glibc implementation), concurrent calls to readdir() that specify different directory streams are thread-safe. In cases where multiple threads must read from the same directory stream, using readdir() with external synchronization is still preferable to the use of the deprecated readdir_r(3) function." Noticed while building on a Fedora Rawhide docker container.

perf tools: handle spaces in file names obtained from /proc/pid/maps

2016-04-30T22:05:46Z

commit 89fee59b504f86925894fcc9ba79d5c933842f93 upstream. Steam frequently puts game binaries in folders with spaces. Note: "(deleted)" markers are now treated as part of the file name.

Revert "perf: Disable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 support"

2014-06-09T11:34:46Z

This reverts commit 3090ffb5a2515990182f3f55b0688a7817325488. Re-enable the mmap2 interface as we will have a user soon. Since things have changed since perf disabled mmap2, small tweaks to the revert had to be done: o commit 9d4ecc88 forced (n!=8) to become (n<7) o a new libunwind test needed updating to use mmap2 interface Signed-off-by: Don Zickus Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1401461382-209586-1-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

perf tools: Use tid for finding thread

2014-05-12T09:09:50Z

I believe that passing pid (instead of tid) as the 3rd arg of the machine__find*_thread() was to find a main thread so that it can search proper map group for symbols. However with the map sharing patch applied, it now can do it in any thread. It fixes a bug when each thread has different name, it only reports a main thread for samples in other threads.

perf tools: Allocate thread map_groups's dynamically

2014-04-28T11:43:20Z

Moving towards sharing map groups within a process threads. Because of this we need the map groups to be dynamically allocated. No other functional change is intended in here. Based on a patch by Jiri Olsa, but this time _just_ making the conversion from statically allocating thread->mg to turning it into a pointer and instead of initializing it at thread's constructor, introduce a constructor/destructor for the map_groups class and call at thread creation time. Later we will introduce the get/put methods when we move to sharing those map_groups, when the get/put refcounting semantics will be needed.

perf symbols: Apply all filters to an addr_location

2014-03-18T21:16:58Z

Instead of bailing out as soon as we find a filter that applies, go on checking all of them so that we can zoom in/out filters. We also need to make sure we only update al->filtered after thread__find_addr_map(), because there is where al->filtered gets initialized to zero. This will increase the cost of processing when all we don't need this toggling, but will provide flexibility for the TUI and GTK+ interfaces, that will incur in creating the hist_entries just once.

perf symbols: Record the reason for filtering an address_location

2014-03-18T21:16:57Z

By turning the addr_location->filtered member from a boolean to a u8 bitmap, reusing (and extending) the hist_filter enum for that. This patch doesn't change the logic at all, as it keeps the meaning of al->filtered !0 to mean that the entry _was_ filtered, so no change in how this value is interpreted needs to be done at this point. This will be soon used in upcoming patches.

perf tools: Speed up thread map generation

2014-03-14T21:08:41Z

When trying to capture perf data on a system running spejbb2013, perf hung for about 15 minutes. This is because it took that long to gather about 10,000 thread maps and process them. I don't think a user wants to wait that long. Instead, recognize that thread maps are roughly equivalent to pid maps and just quickly copy those instead. To do this, I synthesize 'fork' events, this eventually calls thread__fork() and copies the maps over. The overhead goes from 15 minutes down to about a few seconds. -- V2: based on Jiri's comments, moved malloc up a level and made sure the memory was freed Signed-off-by: Don Zickus Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Joe Mario Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1394808224-113774-1-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
